Gratteri discusses justice and information in Paola starting from the memory of Enzo Lo Giudice, Craxi's lawyer in “Clean Hands”. «I am Minister of Justice? Those who love me say that I was saved". Belpietro: «Magistrates who make mistakes should be suspended.
PAOLA «Among some lawyers and some clients the width of the desk has reduced. Allow this, especially in the criminal field, it is very dangerous. But it is dangerous not so much for the relationships created with clients but with fellow lawyers. Frankly, there are too many of them, and there are also too many cases that should not be in court". Nicola Gratteri in the cloister of Sant'Agostino, to Paola, thus answers journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi's first question. The lawyers Marcello Manna and Francesco Scrivano nod. The humidity of a strong summer storm mixes with the human warmth of an audience that sits down to commemorate one of the greatest lawyers in republican history: Enzo Lo Giudice. «I always say this to young people – continues the magistrate – don't look for shortcuts, they are not needed, make sure that the desk has a wide margin with your clients". And the desk of Enzo Lo Giudice it was wide. Craxi's lawyer in the “Mani Pulite” trial, communist formation, but above all a pure guaranteeist as his first practitioner recalls, now a lawyer, Francesco Scrivano. Defending the socialist leader in the judicial tornado set up by the "Clean Hands" pool of the three magistrates Davigo-Di Pietro-Colombo, for Lo Giudice it also meant dealing with the first real episode in Italy of what is today defined “media trial”. Since then everything changed. Even a notice of guarantee turned into a hearing in the newspaper columns. «The directors of the most important Italian newspapers – says Scrivano – called each other to agree on the title to be given the following day».

Migrants, the revelations of a deep throat: "Mai salvato gente in pericolo, It's a first-come, first-served business"
The shocking revelation to the National Newspaper by a security officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, employed on a Save the Children ship: “The relationships between smugglers and many organizations are evident”
“I saw few migrants in danger of their lives, we don't have Never saved anyone who was dying at sea: it seemed more of a race to see who could get there first“. The interview given to has the effects of a bomb National newspaper Qn by a security officer employed on Vos Hestia, una nave di Save the Children, who wishes to remain anonymous. “Once we took a boat with people in good conditions - he says. – Ten minutes from the Libyan coast, not on the high seas. The relationships between smugglers and many organizations are evident. None of the migrants care, it's a business“.
“For me a problem of conscience”“Perhaps some NGOs are truly animated by a humanitarian spirit. But this talk of going to the Libyan coast is neither in heaven nor on earth. Out of thousands of people rescued perhaps only the 20-25% he deserved help“, continues the anonymous witness in the shock interview a Qn. “We loaded young North Africans who had been expelled from Italy. But I say, who we brought to Italy? We did not bring the desperate Syrians or those from Mali fleeing from hunger. For me it was personally also a problem of conscience“.
But “State Secret” can mean “Bribes”? (Question to the Prosecutor's Office)
Of Maurizio Blondet
Since the Benettons do not supply the State with missiles, advanced armaments, radar – because the motorway concessions were covered by state secrecy? It's a question I would like to ask, as a poor citizen, to judges, prosecutors: what other reason can they imagine for this state secret! – if not hidden exchanges and benefits between the politicians who granted them, and those who enjoy the concession of a very profitable monopoly? I ask sincerely: because I can't imagine anything else. Maybe judges and prosecutors, but yes. They have a reason to find this secret very normal. And for this reason they have not moved despite the fact that the Transport Authority has also repeatedly underlined the need to make these contracts public, that concern a public service and public power. And although in any other country the Ministry of Transport makes the contracts and documents governing the relationship between the State and the managers of the motorway networks available for consultation, as - after all - of any public service granted under concession.
Bribes can be assumed? Under-the-table payments in any form to the concessionaire government party? This is asked naively, given the enormous profits that the company in question derives from the management of the monopoly: almost the 26 percent of turnover net profit, you seem to 1,042 billion . And a gross operating margin that makes the economic journalist Fabio Dragoni say the following dirty joke: “An EBITDA of almost 68% on turnover like that of #Highways credo can only be overcome by drug trafficking". And why Mario Giordano calls them “Vultures”?

Merkel is sovereign, not Salvini. And of the most tribal kind, short and obtuse.
I happened to listen to a speech by Maurizio Molinari on Radio Radicale, the neocon director of La Stampa, on the "revolt of the middle class" which has become anti-European and votes for the "sovereignists". Apodictic as usual, Molinari declared that "sovereignism" is "a version of nationalism", but less beautiful than the nineteenth-century one: that expressed a “will to unite”, to “add”, This …

Becchi: «E invece io dico attenti a quei due che resteranno alleati a lungo»
THE OPINION
Luciano Tirinnanzi intervista Paolo Becchi su Panorama N. 34, 09/08/2018
«According to the authors, è in atto un passaggio dalla Seconda alla Terza Repubblica basato su un dato che – credo anch’io – non può essere contestato. The inability of the so-called "progressive" forces to serve the interests of workers and small and medium-sized businesses, in short, of the majority of Italians. […] I believe Becchi is right when in one of his articles on the "sovereignist revolution", collected now in this book, maintains that the opposition between "right" and "left" has now been overcome by that which in my opinion sees people and elites opposed. […] I want to give new impetus to popular sovereignty. “Italians first” means nothing more than this. They left us a country with little hope for the future and with few smiles. Rebuilding it won't be easy. But I promise you that I will give it my all".
It is an extract from the preface signed by the Minister of the Interior and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, which baptizes the political essay by Paolo Becchi and Giuseppe Palma, From the Second to the Third Republic, appena uscito per Paesi edizioni (304 pp., 12 euro). A book that, first, recounts the birth of the Lega-M5s government and frames it as a definitive overcoming of the political past. Ma è davvero così? We asked Professor Becchi, first ideologist of the Cinquestelle and now closer to the positions of the League.
«Il passaggio dalla Seconda alla Terza Repubblica è avvenuto senza coinvolgere la Costituzione, therefore it is partly an improper definition, but which nevertheless tells of the exhaustion of a political process that began in the 1990s. As I write in the book, il suo aspetto innovatore è nella sintesi tra sovranismo identitario, that of Salvini's League, and social sovereignty, proposed instead by Di Maio and the Cinquestelle. Non a caso l’uno si è preso il dicastero dell’Interno e l’altro quello del Lavoro. Terza Repubblica significa avere un governo che sta facendo nascere qualcosa di nuovo, without throwing the constitutional rules to the wind". Read More
Morandi Bridge, from 'absolute stability' to 'intense degradation'
REPORT
…So Autostrade changed to soli 2 years the judgment in the official reports
In the 2009 Motorways for Italy “has repeatedly provided guarantees” about the “presumed old age” of the structure, That “it just needs, like all works of a certain importance, of constant ordinary maintenance”. In the 2011 the work is described, Instead, come “subjected to enormous stress” and for this reason “subject to continuous maintenance for years”. The evolution in two subsequent reports from the company that has the concession for the viaduct
Of Marco Pasciuti
An infrastructure characterized in 2009 and "absolute safetye stability“, on which the company "has repeatedly provided guarantees". That's just two years later, In the 2011, is described as being afflicted with “intense degradation” and has therefore been “the subject of a for years continuous maintenance“. It's the way in alone 24 months the judgment of Motorways for Italy on the Morandi bridge, collapsed yesterday in Genoa causing the death of at least 37 people.
The theme is that of the construction of Western Gronda, new motorway section capable of guaranteeing the doubling of the existing A10 in the section crossing the municipality of Genoa, from Val Polcevera to the town of Vesima. A link road that is part of the project to improve the traffic of the capital, intended for projects Apsi – which has the A10 motorway under concession, she takes care of its maintenance and has come under fire in the hours following the tragedy – to “improve traffic conditions on the existing network”, “support economic growth”, “improve the road safety” and “offer an alternative to the only Ligurian motorway axis”. A topic that triggers a bitter political confrontation, which merged nine years ago into a participatory democracy project: il public debate held in the capital between February 1st and 30 April 2009.

L'ira del web contro Benetton e Toscani: "Metterete una maglietta rossa per le vittime di Genova?"
Reporting of G.B.
The Benetton family, which through Atlantia controls Autostrade per l'Italia, in the sights of social media. Toscani's do-gooder campaigns are also under attack
Of Sergio Rame
From pain to anger. The transition is immediate. Sui social network, and especially on Twitter, Anger is being vented at this time against the Benetton family.
Media lynching is, Indeed, started soon after the first statements by ministers Luigi Di Maio, Matteo Salvini and Danilo Toninelli against the company Motorways for Italy that, through Atlantia, it is in fact controlled by the Benettons. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, writes a challenging user Oliviero Toscani That last 7 July had demonstrated against government policies of closing the ports to boats loaded with illegal immigrants.
Several hundred tweets. One after the other. All popped up a few hours later the dramatic collapse of Morandi bridge on the A10 motorway. Social networks are unleashing themselves against the Benettons by posting, just as the death toll increases hour by hour, several shots that portray a smiling and complete family group. In other posts, a photomontage was published in which Toscani is seen holding a photograph of the collapsed bridge in his hand. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, a user writes to him referring to the demonstration of 7 last July in support of illegal immigrants who land on the Italian coasts.

Genova: Morandi Bridge
THE INVESTIGATION
Of Roberto Pecchioli
We didn't want to believe it. The collapse of the Morandi Bridge, that we Genoese, with a touch of colonized provincialism we called it the Brooklyn Bridge, It's a shocking tragedy, for its load of victims, pain, destruction and the terrible consequences that will drag on for years. This is not the time for jackals, but help, of condolence, of help, of collaboration. However, one cannot remain silent, keep a lid on anger over another sinisterly Italian tragedy: a work of that importance cannot collapse after just one day 50 years. For the writer there is something personal, almost intimately in the pain of these hours. Children, we participated in 1967 at the inauguration of the bridge with all the school groups of Genoa. Equipped with a tricolor flag, stationed in front of the stage, we followed the ceremony, we saw with the wonder of age the president of the republic Giuseppe Saragat surrounded by men in full uniform and the imposing figure of the great cardinal Siri, historic archbishop of the city.
We have crossed that very long bridge thousands of times, seventy meters above the valley of the Polcevera stream full of council houses and industrial warehouses of the former Superba, every day for decades we saw and touched it on our way to work. It's no longer there and it's someone's fault. They talk about lightning, of an intense storm and structural failure. Let's wait to make judgements, but on the morning of the eve of the August bank holiday it just rained. No floods, from the years 70 we remember at least six, devastating, in the city of Genoa. We don't know how many lightning strikes have struck engineer Morandi's artifact in half a century (few knew that the work was named after him), nor how much rain has wetted the imposing structures since then. We don't accept, we will never recognize the hasty justification of these hours as valid. It will be Bar Sport indifference, but we know that Roman bridges have been standing for two millennia, and we don't believe in the inability of designers. But, in recent decades there have been many collapses, like tragedies due to neglect, to ignorance, to widespread corruption. Read More
Anti-fascism and eco-monsters: who was Riccardo Morandi, the designer of the Genoa bridge
Of Nicola Mattei
Genova, 15 ago – What unites the Corviale snake in Rome, an attempt that started badly and ended worse to build a public housing "barracks" in Soviet style bridge over the Polcevera collapsed yesterday? A name, that of engineer Riccardo Morandi.
Born in Rome in 1902, he began his activity in the 1930s by experimenting - among the first in Italy - with the use of reinforced concrete and pre-stressed reinforced concrete. At the beginning of his career he designed churches and cinemas, and then specialized in the construction of bridges.
The skills in the field of reinforced concrete they are worth the call to the team that will design and build the Corviale, where Morandi will work alongside the architect Mario Fiorentino. The result is dramatic: almost a kilometre (e 11 floors in height) of a real city dormitory on the outskirts of the capital where the building boom of those years created eco-monsters destined to last and produce devastating effects. Applied social engineering will result in failure, managing to replicate for the worse all the distortions imported from the total and totalitarian planning that was experimented in the same period in the Soviet Union.
An ideological aspect, the latter, which cannot be overlooked. We are in the Italy of the conflict (also armed), in which remaining helpless in the face of political opposition is almost impossible. E Morandi had made his choice: “His family – writes Repubblica on the occasion of his death, er he 25 December of 1989 – they remember him as a man who always made a point of defending his independence from all powers, starting with the fascist one of which he was an opponent".

The anti-corporal law? Fascism did it in 1926. And Badoglio abolished it
Of Antonio Pannullo
Il "corporal" he is the figure of an illegal intermediary between landowners and unskilled labor. It is a plague that has always been present, and in Italy it has joined forces with organized crime, especially in the centre-south. The word "caporalato" has returned to the spotlight in recent days due to the incidents involving foreign seasonal workers in Puglia, ma è un male antico, a “liberal” evil. In the 2016 the Chamber approved the so-called anti-corporal law, which however evidently had no effect on the phenomenon, probably due to poor controls by the authorities. The magazine and blog Colonial Italy but, directed by Alberto Alpozzi, reminds us that the gangmaster was fought and defeated, like the rest of the mafia, from fascism, that in 1926 I passed the law 563, called "union law", perfected and modified until 1938 with other rules aimed at “balance the interests of employers with those of workers in an equitable manner by protecting, in any case, the superior interests of production". Colonial Italy, in the piece by Maria Giovanna Depalma, also remember that these revolutionary regulations, included in the fascist corporate and labor code, they were valid not only in Italy but also in the colonies, which contributed to abolishing slavery and serfdom in Italian Africa, flourishing until the conquest of East Africa by Italy.
The Maxi Hoax of racism in Italy: here are the real data
Of Gianni Candotto
These days, thanks to a massive press campaign and a massive political campaign by the left, the idea has spread that there is a racism emergency in Italy and that racism in Italy is on the increase. But is it like this or is it just propaganda? To understand this it is necessary to analyze the data on crimes against foreigners in Italy, of racially motivated crimes and make a comparison with previous years and with abroad.
The first data is to see whether there has been an increase in crimes against foreigners overall (violence, insults, damage, vandalism and other crimes). Taking into account that foreigners have increased, it would be logical to expect a constant increase in crimes against foreigners, but the data says otherwise. Se 2016 they were there 202.000 foreign victims of crime, In the 2017 192.000 and in the first full six months of 2018 85.000 (which multiplied by two is 170.000. Even comparing the first six months of 2017 with the first six months of 2018 let's move on 90.000 a 85.000). Read More
Saviano sentenced (again) for Gomorrah
He will have to compensate a defamed entrepreneur
RECIPIENT
The writer and Mondadori did not correct a passage on which the judge had already expressed his opinion
Roberto Saviano and Mondadori Libri were sentenced to jointly pay 15 thousand euros to an entrepreneur, already compensated with 30 thousand euros four years ago due to a sentence that became final. This is because the writer did not rectify the passage in the book “Gomorrah” in which Vincenzo Boccolato, with no criminal record and resident abroad, he is described as a member of a Camorra clan. The lawyers Alessandro Santoro made this known, Sandra Salvigni and Daniela Mirabile, lawyers of Boccolato, who explain that the provision, filed three days ago, it was signed by the judge of the first civil section of Milan Angelo Claudio Ricciardi.
In summary, Saviano and the publishing house decided to continue reprinting the same edition without removing the defamatory expressions sanctioned in the first conviction. Circumstance that the judge assessed as “new defamatory offence”.
